Fw 190 A-4 test

[Clave]

This is a test, I just want to see what I did wrong before going on to the next one...

This is from 6/JG2 as far as I know.

 

[Clave]

I fixed the rudder, changed some stuff on the nose, and added a couple of variations:

Clave, are the earth/green tones authentic? I trust your judgement, but they look too "british". I love the wild sau winter camo.

Erich should be able to advise you on the paint schemes but it's rare he finds himself in here..........

 

[Clave]

I'm going to check those colours right now...

8) Look good!

 

[Matt308]

Sweet. I don't care what anyone says A-4 has D-9 beat anyday.

 

[Clave]

Heh, the D9 is kinda wacky-looking imo, I don't think it will make the list for a while...

 

[Wurger]

Sweet. I don't care what anyone says A-4 has D-9 beat anyday.

I support the Matt's opinion.Well done Clave.

 

[twoeagles]

Very very nice! Helluva talent there, Clave!

 

[Clave]

Thanks!

Now I'm off to make some 50's British Navy iron...

 

[Matt308]

Clave, ever thought of doing ships? Your medium would probably look great with WWII battleships and destroyers.

 

[Clave]

I have thought about tanks, but never ships... interesting idea... 8)

 

[v2]

Well done, Cleve, congratulations to you!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

love the desert cammo but shouldn't it be a bit darker?

 

[Clave]

I debated that, but kinda like 'sand' better than 'mud'

But the truth is, I just don't know - the references I have seen vary from almost yellow, to darkish brown and everything in between, so.. hmm... still mulling it over...

I'm interested in modelling a 1/72 A-4 9.jg54. I know they weren't in Russia for very long, but I'd like to do it with a code no. and yellow or white "squiggle". Does anyone have any evidence of such markings? Maybe an A-3? David E. Wells.
